posted Monday, October 16, 2017 8:49:47 PMRun The Jewels - Run The Jewels

Killer Mike and El-P's first album as Run The Jewels is a constant bombardment of lyrical asswhippins over sonic boom beats reminiscent of Public Enemy and The Bomb Squad. The absolute GLEE these two show while throwing rappers headfirst into a woodchipper is so fuckin' fun and infectious. The first song has El-P telling listeners to do some blow. Killer Mike shoots a lady's fuckin poodle during a robbery for christ sake. That's their opening verses. It only gets better from there. I love parts 2 and 3 and I'm sure a few people prefer them over this but this is where the gun and fist started. Modern Classic. Suck it.

Oh dear, what the fuck have we here?These motherfuckers all thorn no roseEgads what a bad dream better not sleepTake a No-Doz, do some blowOh shit what the hell have we done?It's alive and it's hungry as fuckBetter hide all the snacks and the doughBut it is out of my control, you are shit out of luckI don't wanna be unfair but the pairWe got beat that weak shit you got (true god)Blew up the spot with that new bopCrew drops, do up ya squad without nuanceI don't wanna sound unkind but theSounds I make are the sounds of the hounds that are howlingUnder your bed I'm here growlingSame time under the blanket you're cowering

Cowering like cowards cowering inConcrete showers in Rikers IslandVictims, we the wolves that's wildingWe often smilin' at sights of violenceActing brave and courageousAin't advantageous for health and safetySo when we say "run the jewels"Just run 'em baby, please don't delay meAnd that goes for a guy or ladyThe fam, goddamn we fuckin' crazyI'll pull this pistolPut it on your poodle or your fuckin' babyShe clutched the pearls, said "What in the world!"And "I won't give up shit!"I put the pistol on that poodleAnd I shot that bitch

posted Monday, October 16, 2017 10:17:00 PMTell me Killer Mike isn't one of the nicest. Not that El-P didn't kill this. Mike just went esoteric on this. Not your average song about a strip club. Verse starts at 1:35

You know I get gone I'm a gonerIn the VIP of the club where they strip with a zip and a bonerGirl named Mary looking like a black MadonnaTell me I can rent her but I can never own herShe's naked as the day that her momma first born herAnd later on in the song, yeah, I'mma bone herBut that ain't the point, bro, please follow along, broGod made a miracle: it rained in the roomBlowing marijuana smoke in a smoke filled roomShe leaned in my ear said "You ever did shrooms?"I said "I never did that and I never did youIf it come in a pack baby I'mma do two."Last act of the pact Mary Mack do it too"If you agree to the terms we can do what it do"She said "It is what it is." and we did what we didRight before we popped 3 caps and 3 stemsShe popped that molly, rocked my body, I fly high and my co-pilotPsilocybin, got me slidin, slipping into another dimensionMe and this woman made love in KemetTraveled to the moon came back when we were finishedFell to the earth, lost each other, died and we came back sister and brotherIn that lifetime we couldn't have each otherSo we killed ourselves and it killed our motherTrue romance, in one lap danceI was in my future, my present and past

Dirty Acres was a better album as far as that group goes. Lot of fans felt that was a step backwards.

posted Monday, October 16, 2017 11:15:49 PMI am happy for their success, their first 2 albums were cool, but i could die happy never hearing anything from either of them again save for El-p's late 90's/early 2000s productions

posted Tuesday, October 17, 2017 1:43:36 PM I'm an underground hip hop artist from the Bay Area, born in San Francisco and raised in Oakland. Growing up Run DMC and LL Cool J became my main influences. I started writing in the sixth grade, and never put down the pen. I started to work with producers in my early twenties. For me, hip hop is about positive energy and fun. Freestyling is my natural way of releasing energy. Rapping is a way of life, my way of life.

god damn you're corny observe, and how are you talking about positive energy when you're the most negative person ive ever encountered? no wonder your rap career never went anywhere, it was all based on a lie.

posted Tuesday, October 17, 2017 1:57:18 PMIn mythology, and in the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a character in a story (god, goddess, spirit, man, woman, or anthropomorphisation), which exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge, and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and conventional behaviour.

Does this seem like a troll ?

posted Tuesday, October 17, 2017 1:58:29 PMMythology Edit

Tricksters are archetypal characters who appear in the myths of many different cultures. Lewis Hyde describes the trickster as a "boundary-crosser".[2] The trickster crosses both physical and often breaks societal rules. Tricksters "...violate principles of social and natural order, playfully disrupting normal life and then re-establishing it on a new basis."[3]

Often, the bending/breaking of rules takes the form of tricks or thievery. Tricksters can be cunning or foolish or both. The trickster openly questions and mocks authority. They are usually male characters, and are fond of breaking rules, boasting, and playing tricks on both humans and gods
